What you can achieve
QHY8L - £899 *New*
An Economic Introduction to Colour Imaging!
The QHY8L is a compact and light weight one shot colour APS size CCD camera.
With it's Super HAD technology, one stage cooling system and high efficiency heat sink and fan the dark noise of QHY8L is extremely low.
The 7.8um*7.8um pixel size is ideal for high resolution and high sensitivity deep sky imaging.
The 400g weight and 63mm diameter make QHY8L very suitable for Hyper Star Imaging.
